Phytoliths, silica microfossil that produced within and between cells and tissues of plants are especially yielded in Gramineae with many different forms and can attribute to the reconstruction of climatic and environmental changes and agriculture activity of the Quaternary. The phytoliths in soil can remain for long periods of time, because of strong resistance to physical and chemical weathering. The spatial range of study is too small due to deposition of phytoliths directly to the soil. There are difficulties of phytoliths identification because of multiplicity and redundancy, so far uniform and exact classification scheme has not been adopted. Therefore we attempted phytolith classification system applied to Korea. The paleoenvironmental reconstruction research using phytholith are applicated in many parts of studies. Also high-resolution paleoclimatic reconstruction expected to be possible using phytolith indices of Iph and Ic as well as climatic indicator of phytolith morphology.

Echinochloa oryzoides (Ard.) Fritsch (Na-do-non-pee), was found at paddy fields of Jeonranamdo on a large scale after a first discovery at Masan, Kyeongsangnamdo. This species was not easily distinguished from rice before flowering at the paddy field because of a similar morphology to rice. It is, however, distinguished from other species of the Korean Echinochloa by reliable morphological characters such as horizontal or drooping panicles at maturity, lower glumes with usually 1/4-2/5 as long as the spikelets, awned lower lemmas, and the number of chromosomes, 2n = 54. Echinochloa oryzicola (Vasinger) Vasinger was distinguished from E. oryzoides by erect panicles, lower glumes with at least 1/2 as long as the spikelets, and the number of chromosomes, 2n = 36.

Two unrecorded Poaceae species, Anthoxanthum glabrum and Saccharum arundinaceum, are herein newly reported from Korea. Anthoxanthum glabrum (Ae-Gi-Hyang-Mo) was found in Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do, Sangju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do and Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do. It is distinguished from A. nitens by the length of its spikelet, glume and lemma. Saccharum arundinaceum (Keun-Gae-Sa-Tang-Su-Su) was found in Mapo-gu, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do. It is distinguished from S. spontaneum by hair on the lower glume and according to the length of the hair on the callus of its spikelet. In this study, a description and illustrations of the species and photos of the habitat are provided.

Two naturalized species, Glyceria declinata $Br{\acute{e}}b$. and Puccinellia distans (Jacq.) Parl. are herein newly reported from Korea. Glyceria declinata, 'Yu-Reop-Yuk-Jeol-Bo-Ri-Pul', was found along the Seomjin River, Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do, as well as along the Gwangjucheon River, Sa-dong, Dong-gu, Gwangju. It is distinguished from G. acutiflora by spikelets 15-20mm long and obtuse lemma. Puccinellia distans, "Cheo-Jin-Mi-Kku-Ri-Gwang-I", was found in Yeongjong Island, Incheon, Yongyu Island, Incheon and Chojijin, Ganghwa-gun. It is distinguished from P. nipponica by lemmas 1.8-2.5mm long, ligule 1-2mm long and the lower branches of panicle usually reflexed after anthesis.

Korean Poaceae includes approximately 80 species of the agricultural weeds. Precise species identification is the first step for more effective weed management in the agricultural fields. However, the identification of species in Poaceae is not easy without the assistance of taxonomists or identification experts although they are relatively easy to distinguish from the plants of the other family by the unique characteristics of caryopsis. Thus, DNA barcode was suggested as an alternative powerful technique for species identification by using short sections of DNA from a specific region of the genome. Two standard barcode markers of vascular plants, chloroplast rbcL and matK, and a supplementary nuclear ribosomal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region were used for barcode of major Korean Poaceae weeds, 403 individuals of 84 taxa. All the barcode markers revealed a good level of sequencing success with the lowest 73.7% for matK and the highest 88.8% for rbcL. The barcode sequences were deposited to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database for public use. Combined matK and ITS showed very high resolving power with 92.9%. Besides the identification of weeds for weed managment, the generated DNA barcode data could be used for many other applications such as rapid biodiversity assessment and conservation prioritization.

자연초원(natural grassland)은 연간 강수량이 $250\sim1000mm$, 기온이 $0\sim26^{\circ}C$인 지역에서 형성되는 기후극상의 식생으로써 초본식물, 특히 벼과식물이 우점되어 있다. 이 자연초원은 세계에 널리 분포되어 있는데 지역에 따라 온대초원 열대초원, steppe, prairie, pampa등으로, 식물의 초고에 따라 장초형 초원 단초형초원으로 분류한다. 한국에는 연간 강수량이 많고 연평균기온이 높아서 기후 극상의 자연초원은 성립되지 못하고 식생천이의 도중상으로 소규모의 초본식물군락이 나타난다. 이들은 주로 방치된 경작지나 경작지주변의 인간간섭이 많은곳, 해수나 강물의 영향으로 나무가 생장할 수 없는 곳에 식생천이의 도중상으로 나타나거나, 산림이 산불이나 벌목으로 파괴된 곳에서 제2차천이의 과정으로 초본식물군락이 출현하는데 이것을 야초지(native grassland)라고 한다. 특히 야초지에 가축을 사육할 목적으로 목초를 재배하여 이용할 때는 초지라고 한다. 한국의 야초지식생을 구성하는 주요 우점초종은 억새, 새, 솔새, 잔디, 갈대, 쑥 등이며 건조하고 기온이 높은 여름에는 C-4형 식물이, 수분이 많고 서늘한 봄과 가을에는 C-3형 식물이 높은 생산성을 나타낸다. 야초지는 지표면을 피복하여 바람이나 빗물에 의한 토양침식을 방지할 뿐만아니라 초식동물의 먹이를 생산하고 자연경관을 아름답게 가꾸어 주는 중요한 역활을 하고 있으나 공장부지 주택지 농업용지등으로 개발되어 없어지고 관리가 이루어지지 않아 황폐화 되고 있다. 야초지를 효과적으로 보전하고 이용하기 위해서는 생장이 빠르고 생산성이 높은 우수한 목초를 재배하는 것이 바람직한데 그 방법으로는 겉뿌림초지조성법, 제경법, 시비법이 이용된다.

This study aims feeding habit of the Korean water deer(Hydropotes inermis argyropus) using a visual analysis of rumen contents of 44 individuals. The samples were collected from Cheorwon(Gangwon province) and the eastern part of Jeonnam province. Based on the analysis, a total of 15 orders, 18 families and 13 species were identified. Among them, Solanceae(53.8%) and Graminease(30.3%) showed the highest proportions. Plants of 13 orders, 15 families and 10 species were found and forbs(70.21%) and Solanceae(54.9%) were most preferred in Cheorwon. Eight orders, 7 families and 4 species were found in the Eastern parts of Jeonnam province, and Gramineae(78.6%) and woody plants(14.70%) was most preferred. Among four seasons, Gramineae in spring(80.6%) and autumn(68.8%), Leguminosae(75.9%) in summer, and Solanceae(85.4%) in winter were the highest proportions.

For researching nitrogen-fixing bacteria associated with gramineous crops, we collected growing roots of rices, wheats, oats, barleys, ryes, and maizes at 19 sites of southern Korean peninsula. Endophytes and free living bacteria were isolated from those crop roots. Sixty-three isolates were classified on the basis of different morphology, size, color, host of colony, and the 16S rDNAs sequence. The analyses of PCR amplification for nifH gene and nitrogenase activity assay, revealed that all isolates contained nitrogen-fixing abilities. In addition, most of them have cellulase activity which is one of the common features of endophytic bacteria from plant.
